      Thank you for posting the fall roundup of cakes, several are on my list.
      However, really want to thank you for Peanut Butter Cake (doctored cake). I’ve made twice now and of all the cakes I’ve made over the years the men have decided new favorite! My husband has already requested for his birthday.
      Thank you so much!
